The House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The house went
into committee of the whole, Mr.. McMillin,
Tennessee. in the chair. on the senate bill
to indemnify certain subjects of the Chinese
empire for loss sustained by the violence of
mob at Rock Springs. Wyo.. on Sept. 2,
1885. Mr. Belmont, of New York. dwelt
upon the necessity of the United States
government granting indemnity for the
losses inflicted, and commended the action
OF the Chinese authorities since this occur
renee. MI. Morrow, California, inquired
whether it was the purpose of the commit
tee Tin case this bill was passed. to call up
to-day the bill restricting hinese inmigra-
ton. Mr.. Belmont replied in the negative.
The Chinese government did not desire to
embarrasS the relations between the two
nations by a continuance of immigration
and there was disposition to modify the
treaty so as to bring about results very
much more effective than could be secured
by legislation. With this assurance, the
committee did not intend to bring up the
matter to-day. The respective merits of
the senate bill (Which provides for the
ascertainment of the losses incurred), and
the house bill (Which makes direct ap-
preparation of STAT, 74s), were briefly dis
cuSSed. Mr.. Morrow, California, favored
the senate bill, and criticized congress for
not performing its duty to the country by
a passage of the bill restricting Chinese
immigration. The house bill was substi-
tuted for the senate bill, 101 to 6S and, as
so amended, the bill was passed. The
house then passed the senate bill prohibiting
the importation of opium into the United
States by any subject of the emperor of
China.

lows:
In the Matthews case, some time ago, sent
correspondence showing the crooked transac-
tions of that gentleman, in which he appro-
priated the money due his client. and repre-
sented l had not paid it to him, while after
ward produced my check with his indorse-
ment for the money. He is scoundrel, and
is only using his black stain as stock in trade
in politics. / can give you details of the
transaction if you wish, though forward the
originals as above stated.
William Il. Johnson, Of 81 Maiden Lane,
Albany, n. Y, wrote a series of letters
against the confirmation, saying that charges

publicans of Albany protests against "a
Republican senate voting to confirm an
offensive ring partizan who stands repudi-
ated by his party and distrusted by his
race" add ''apart from his education, in
every way unfit for public trust.' The
Columbia Democratic club and other citi-
zens of Washington protest against the
confirma ton because of Matthews non
residence. On the other hand there are
numerous petitions and Endorsements of
